Pt 5 Ferrari 308GTS Weber 40 DCNF Carburettor refit and balance

Another awesome video. Thank you! I’m sorry to see your injury; I hope it was a smooth recovery. Did you reinstall the airbox for your first run? 1978 308 GTS

The injury antibiotics turned into liver poisoning but that's another story....😆 I kept the airbox off until the carbs were balanced for ease of access. Let me know how you get on. 👍🏻

@@workinprogress1098 What a horrible experience for you with the injury, surgery and then liver poisoning. I’m truly sorry. I just finished my rebuild. I felt similar to you in that the rebuild was actually enjoyable, but the removal was horrible. I had three of my four accelerator pump jets nearly blocked. The gaskets were tired, too. One accelerator pump diaphragm was done and a source of a fuel leak. It’s time for reinstallation and synchronization. I’ll keep you posted. Your videos have really been helpful. Thank you!

It sounds like you need to replace the fuel filter - might also explain the electrical draw on your led light video. I also didn’t see new gaskets between the isolation plate and the intakes - that might explain a high idle as you may have an air leak. Quite common as the base of those carbs tend to warp with over tightening of the hold down nuts.

Thank you, great tips. I have previously replaced the fuel filter when I replaced the pump, but I'll check those gaskets. I thought I'd replaced all, but worth double checking. 🤔
